About this wine

Awarded 94 points by James Suckling, Pegasus Bay Chardonnay is a bright lemon-colored North Canterbury Chardonnay. It presents a rich tapestry of aromas, with rockmelon, nectarine, and mandarin spray leading the way. Hints of buttered popcorn, flinty gun smoke, vanilla pod, and a subtle touch of vegemite add depth and complexity. The palate is full-bodied yet precise, offering a creamy texture balanced by a lively streak of acidity that provides focus and drive. Elegant and structured, it builds towards a long, compelling finish.

Pegasus Bay is a family-owned winery in North Canterbury, renowned for producing bold, characterful wines that showcase the region’s unique climate and limestone-rich soils. Established by the Donaldson family, Pegasus Bay combines minimal-intervention winemaking with a deep respect for terroir, crafting exceptional Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Bordeaux-style reds. With a strong reputation for age-worthy wines, the estate remains a benchmark for quality in New Zealand’s South Island.

This wine is a perfect companion to poultry, lobster, and shellfish. Rich, creamy sauces, soft cheeses like brie and camembert, and earthy mushrooms bring out its layered complexity.

It also works beautifully with grilled or pan-fried fish, including raw seafood like sashimi. Poached or steamed chicken, cheddar, onion, garlic, roasted root vegetables, squash, fresh herbs, toasted nuts and seeds, pasta, potatoes, and whole grains make excellent pairings.
